I'm elegantly wasted or I'm better than Oasis. Which do you hear?

"[...] Michael presented Oasis with Best Album, which they won for "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?" When the notorious brats arrived at the podium, Noel Gallagher looked at Michael and said that a has-been shouldn't be presenting awards to "gonna-bes".

"Michael and the engineer spent the next hour or so adding layers to the chorus of the album's title track, "Elegantly Wasted,"

"I've been listening to this chorus over and over - great song, by the way, guys - but I've got to ask, are you saying "I'm better than Oasis? I swear I hear that on the backing vocals," the DJ said. Andrew's face flushed while Michael sat in silence, smirking like the cat who'd swallowed the canary."

I apologize for my absence for the past two months. Schoolwork got the best of me and I had to dedicate most of my time to that baloney, but, it is 2017, and I am back to spin some killer records again. 

I’d like to start 2017 off with one of my new found loves, The Headboys. To my knowledge, and one wiki search later, it appears that they only had the one album in ‘79. They put out some unreleased tracks in the late 2000s, but I have yet to hear them. 

I came across this record in an assorted pile at the record store. Their Boxing Week sale was nuts (50% off all vinyl, 10% off entire store), so this record was 50 cents. Other notable purchases are, Jefferson Starships’ Gold for 4 bucks, The Best of Burton Cummings for 1.50, Get the Knack for a buck, Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of The War of the Worlds for 8 bucks (WOW!) and The Outfield’s Play Deep (tape) for a buck.

Needless to say, it was a low cost, high reward kind of trip to the record store. My favourite kind of trip.
